July 23: The quilts arrived.July 24: Karen agreed to come help me with these two quilts when she returns from a trip visiting family. We'll work a bit on the purple border and then longarm both of them. Since they are small & there are two of us, we just might get them back to Celia in a day. Time will tell.

Pinwheels for a Baby Boy

Love the delicate colors.Celia makes small colorful quilts that sale!

Aug 18: This is ready to load and quilt after a quick pressing. Got this one longarmed without any problems while Karen worked on the border for the Terrain quilt.

Terrain Charms

This looks familiar!Celia used the charm packwhile I used the layer cake.The purple border reallypulls it all together.

Aug 17: I removed the borders. It is ready for Karen to use her expertise to reattach them without waves.Aug 18: Karen did an amazing job with Celia's borders on this quilt. Karen got this job because she just happened to email me information on how to attach borders so that there were no waves. I asked her to come apply her technique to this quilt for Celia. Dare I say it took her about 4 hours!! Worth it though because now it will quilt nicely.

The quilts are so pretty!! You two did a great job on that border. Sorry I made the mess and then did more waves pressing the thing.
I feel so excited when I see them posted and I know they'll be home soon. Thank you both!
And no surgery for me. Mostly what is happening to me is not drinking enough H2O and I am alergic to artifical sweetners. They irritated my bladder and I could not make water. I am doing so much better now that I do not use the sweetners . Thanks for asking and your prayers.
